AN AUSCHWITZ ALPHABET **http://www.spectacle.org/695/ausch.html**
"Alphabet represents my own selection (macabre word) of the most significant facets of life and death in Auschwitz. In twenty-six "slices", I have attempted to illustrate the entire human landscape of the camp: Who killed and who died? How did people survive? What happened to the language they spoke? What rules governed the perpetrators and their victims? Where was God?
There are two paths through the material. I have created page-turning links that allow you to read it from beginning to end without returning to the index. Or you can use the index as a jumping-off point to sample those elements that interest you. I considered but am in doubt about the ethics and efficacy of a third pathway, which would put you in the shoes of an inmate of the camp, with choices or events leading to consequences, e.g., "On the railroad platform, Dr. Mengele sends you to the right or to the left", with each consequence--e.g., being sent to the krematoria--linked to the descriptive material here pertaining to it. I may still add this later if I conclude that it increases the impact, rather than trivializing the material or turning it into a game."

"During World War II, Szyk (pronounced "Shick") devoted his energies to defeating Nazi Germany and its allies and calling the world’s attention to the mass murder of Europe’s Jews. His incisive wartime cartoons and caricatures filled the pages of American newspapers and magazines, earning him a reputation as a "one-man army" in the Allied cause. His moving portrayals of Jewish suffering and heroism bespoke a political activism that demanded "action—not pity." By 1943, Arthur Szyk had become perhaps America’s leading artistic advocate for Jewish rescue from Nazi Europe. His images appeared in leading magazines and newspapers such as Collier’s, Esquire, Time, Look, Liberty, the New York Post, and the Chicago Sun.

AN AUSCHWITZ ALPHABET
**http://www.spectacle.org/695/ausch.html**
"Alphabet represents my own selection (macabre word) of the most significant facets of life and death in Auschwitz. In twenty-six "slices", I have attempted to illustrate the entire human landscape of the camp: Who killed and who died? How did people survive? What happened to the language they spoke? What rules governed the perpetrators and their victims? Where was God?
There are two paths through the material. I have created page-turning links that allow you to read it from beginning to end without returning to the index. Or you can use the index as a jumping-off point to sample those elements that interest you. I considered but am in doubt about the ethics and efficacy of a third pathway, which would put you in the shoes of an inmate of the camp, with choices or events leading to consequences, e.g., "On the railroad platform, Dr. Mengele sends you to the right or to the left", with each consequence--e.g., being sent to the krematoria--linked to the descriptive material here pertaining to it. I may still add this later if I conclude that it increases the impact, rather than trivializing the material or turning it into a game."

THE ART AND POLITICS OF ARTHUR SZYK
**http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/szyk/**
An online exhibit of the works of Arthur Szyk. "During World War II, Szyk (pronounced "Shick") devoted his energies to defeating Nazi Germany and its allies and calling the world’s attention to the mass murder of Europe’s Jews. His incisive wartime cartoons and caricatures filled the pages of American newspapers and magazines, earning him a reputation as a "one-man army" in the Allied cause. His moving portrayals of Jewish suffering and heroism bespoke a political activism that demanded "action—not pity." By 1943, Arthur Szyk had become perhaps America’s leading artistic advocate for Jewish rescue from Nazi Europe. His images appeared in leading magazines and newspapers such as Collier’s, Esquire, Time, Look, Liberty, the New York Post, and the Chicago Sun. During the darkest periods of the war, Szyk’s images reached millions of Americans, helping to boost morale by unmasking the threat that Nazism posed to Western civilization."
